| Title | Moisture Density Gauge Struck by Constuction Vehicle |
| Event Description | The following was received via email:
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control was notified at 1711 EDT via telephone that a Humboldt Model 5001 moisture density gauge (serial number 5189) had been hit by a piece of construction equipment and the source rod was broken off. A Department Inspector was dispatched to the location and assisted the licensee in packing the device and source rod back into the transport container using remote handling tools and survey instruments. Additional shielding (fill dirt) was added to the transport container. Dose rate readings using an ND-2000A (calibrated 9/14/21) indicated readings as high as 38 mR/hr on the surface of the transport container and 0.8 mR/hr at 1 meter. The Humboldt Model 5001 moisture density gauge was transported and secured at the licensee's temporary storage location and is awaiting shipment back to the manufacturer. This event is still under investigation by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. SC event number: not yet assigned. |
